[wellylug] SCA disk bracket for Sun Ultra1 required

[Ian Sterling]

Geraint, that won't work for his application.  The U1s have very
little room for play in the drive bays, especially the hard disk bay. 
You can fit two 3.5" half-height SCA disks in there and nothing else. 
If you put an adapter on, the drive won't fit - it'll stick out too
far. :-/  Yeah, it's teh suck, but it's sun for you.

Jamie, I found a nice 18G disk for $40US at a place over here called
surplus computers (http://www.surpluscomputers.com/).  I'm not sure if
they do int'l shipping, but it's worth a look.

I'm sure though, that you'll be able to find something closer to home on eBay...
